Greater than any knightly dragon
slayer of old is the man who over
comes his passions, sets his foot
upon them and stands serene and
strong in virtue. Grander than
Zenobia is the woman who struggles
with herself, and conquers. The
young man, ardent and tender. who
turns from the dear love of woman
and buries deep in his heart the
sweet instinct Of paternity, to de.
vote himself to the care and sun.
port Of aged parents or an invalid
sister, and whose life is a long
sacrifice, in manly cheerfulness and
majestic spirit, is q hero of the
rarest type-the type Charles Lamb,
/ have known but two such.
The young woman who resolutely
stays with father and mother in the
old home, while brothers and sisters
go forth to happy homes of their
own; who cheerfully lays on the
altar of filial duty that costlieSt Of
human sacrifices, the joy of loving
and being loyed--she is heroine.
| have known many such.
The husband who goes home from
everyday routine and the perplex.
ing cares Of business with a cheerful
smile and a loving word to his IN
valid wife; who brings not against
her the grievous sin Of long sick
ness, and reproaches her not for the
cost and discomfort thereof; who
sees in her languid eyes something
dearer than girlish laughter, in the
sad face and faded cheeks that
blossom into smiles and even bushes
at his coming, something lOyeler
than the old.time spring roSes-he
is hero, / think l know one such.
The wife who bears her part in
the burden of life even though it
be the larger part-bravely, cheer.
fully, never dreaming that she is a
heroine, much less a martyr; who
bears with the faults Of husband
not altogether congenial with loving
patience and large charity, and
with noble decision hiding them
from the world; who makes no con.
fidence who refrains from brooding
over shortcomings in sympathy and
sentiment; who does not build high
tragedy sorrows on the inevitable,
nor feel an earthquake in every
family jar; who sees her husband
united with herself indissolubly and
eternally in their children--she, the
wife in very truth, IN the inward as
in the outward, is heroine, though
of rather an questionable type

There are considerably over Co.,
600 persons confined aG the present
time in prisons in the United States.
This is nearly nine times the mum.
Der of prisoners in 1850, so that
even making allowance for increase
in population, crime, or at any rate
punishment for crime, is much more
general now and then. That one
person out of every 700 should be in
prison in 1887 while in 1850 the
ratio was only one to every 5000 is
far from being a cheerful reflection,
and it is not remarkable that others
besides philanthropists are consid.
ering the problem, with a view of
making punishment more preventive
if not more curative. By the way.
we sometimes hear 1t said that the
school master is abroad and that
education empties our jails. But
figures are stubborn things.---Haa.

comes upon us unawares. The
patients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull and
sleepy; the mouth has bad
taste, especially in the morning.
A sort Of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is
poor. There is a feeling like a
heavy load on the stomach;
sometimes a faint, all-gone sensa-
ton at the pit of the stomach
which food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands and
feet become cold and feel clam
my. After a while a cough sets
in, at first dry, but after few
months it is attended with a
greenish colored expectoration.
The patient feels tired all the
while, and sleep does not seem
to afford any rest. After a time
he becomes nervous, irritable
and gloomy, and has evil fore
bodings. There is a giddiness, a
sort of whirling sensation in the
head when rising up suddenly.
The bowels become eostive; the
skin is dry and hot at times /;
the blood becomes thick and
stagnant the whites of the eyes
become tinged with yellow the
kidney secretions become scanty
and high colored, depositing a
sediment after standing. There
is frequently splitting up of the

and sometimes with a sweetish

the consequence. The effect of
this remedy is simply marvellous.
Millions upon millions of bottles

are the rusult of indigestion, and
when this one trouble is remov-

they are but symptoms Of the

There seems to be n diversity 81 opinion
regarding the right Of the probate Judge o
the one cent fee allowed for counting aud
destroying the squirrel and prairie dog
skins brought ia under the provisions Of
the new bounty law. II Is claimed that in
asmuch the Office of probate iadee is a
-alaried one no other fee or compensation
should be allowed for any services what
soever performed; aud we are informed
that the commissioners OF Galiatin county
take this view Of the case and insist that
the judge shall turn into the treasury all
fees collected under the bounty Law.
Now, while the Courier does not claim tn
be authority on this subject, II must in
fairness to all concerned dissent IRON the
foregoing view Of the situation. In the
first place the law was passed after the
election and induction iuto office of the Of
licer referred to and it requires the per
formance of services not contemplated by
the usual-we might say univcrsal-pro-
bate practice acts of the States and Terri
tories of the United States. la TIA. second
place the bounty law requires services aud
supervision that takes an officer from his
office during office hours, not only to his
personal and official Inconvenience, but Of
ten to an incurrence Of expense never con
templated 10y the general provisions of the
law.
In the third place the lee allowed one
c.nt-does not come out either Of any
any estate, tie pockets Of iitigants or the
county treasury, but directly out of the
Territorial treasury. Then, on what
ground Of either law or equity should the
probate judge be required to pay the funds
thus derived into the county treasury?
The fee may be somewhat excessive. but
that cannot be helped until the law is
either amended or repealed, aud until that
occurs we predict that the Judge will con
time to draw his squirrel bounty fees. viz,

one cent each for AL he destroys and issu,s
